The Order : Weekly Aggregator Roundup - Prepping Sellers for an effective process

Question of the week ❓

If you had one thing that you would love sellers to focus on as they talk to you about their brand, what would that be?

Let us know what would help you realize a more effective process 👉here (or just respond with your thoughts by email).

This shouldn't be your standard item that everyone gets right - rather what you see most sellers approach wrong today and would like to see them improve to realize a more effective process. We will share the results with you next week & also share them with sellers as part of our presentation at the Aggregator & Seller Pitch Day in Berlin on Thursday this week.
